Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.
As well as the top notes fading, your nose adapts to a constant scent and stops registering it, while people nearby still smell it. Smell your wrist after leaving the room, or ask someone close.
The main body of the scent, emerging as the top notes fade. It shapes how the fragrance smells once it settles on skin.

Heavier molecules that evaporate slowly, like woods, musk, amber and oud. They are there from the start, and they are what remains once the rest has faded.

Ambre Leather opens on cardamom alone, sharp and warm, before leather and jasmine sambac take over through the heart. Amber, moss and patchouli close the base, giving it a full, earthy amber-leather finish with a floral thread running through the middle.
Ambre Leather opens on cardamom by itself, which puts the full weight of the introduction on one note: warm, slightly peppery and a touch citrus-green, without anything else in the top to soften or distract from it. That single-note opening is unusual and gives the scent a very clean, focused start. Once the cardamom settles, leather and jasmine sambac come through as the heart, and this pairing is the core of the composition. The leather here reads as full and slightly worn rather than sharp or rubbery, and jasmine sambac, a richer, more indolic variety of jasmine than a typical jasmine note, gives it a heady, slightly animalic floral lift rather than a clean or soapy one. The base brings amber, moss and patchouli together, a classic oriental-woody trio: amber for sweetness and warmth, moss for a damp, earthy undertone, and patchouli for depth and a faint dark, woody-herbal edge. Across the whole arc, the scent moves from a single spice note into a rich leather-floral heart and finally into a dense, earthy amber base, with real weight building as it goes rather than thinning out. That build in weight is unusual for a spiced opening, which more often thins toward the base rather than deepening into it.
The first stretch belongs entirely to cardamom, so early wear feels sharp and warm without much complexity, almost like a held note waiting for the rest of the composition to arrive. As the cardamom fades, leather and jasmine sambac step forward together, and this shift is the most dramatic in the whole development: the scent goes from a single spice to a rich, slightly animalic floral-leather accord in a fairly short space of time. This middle stage tends to last the longest and carries most of the scent's character, with the jasmine sambac's heady quality keeping the leather from feeling flat or one-dimensional. Later, amber, moss and patchouli move in from the base, and the composition turns denser and earthier, losing the floral lift as the amber's warmth and the patchouli's dark, woody depth take hold. Moss adds a slightly damp undertone in this final stage, keeping the amber from feeling too polished or sweet. By the end, the scent sits as a deep, earthy amber-leather base, a long way in character from the sharp cardamom that opened it, and the shift between each stage is gradual rather than abrupt.
Ambre Leather is built as a unisex composition. Leather and cardamom bring a firm, structured quality, while jasmine sambac and amber add warmth and richness, and the balance between the two sides keeps the scent from settling into a strictly masculine or feminine lane.
Ambre Leather suits anyone who wants a full, earthy scent built around leather and amber rather than anything sweet or light. The cardamom opening gives it a clean, spiced start, and the moss and patchouli base carries it comfortably through cooler days and evenings where a deep, grounded scent fits the setting.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
